Global Warming Campaigns
Dragging politicians, bureaucrats, company owners and those who control world fuel into the real world of climate disaster can be done - even if it's just one step at a time.
We need to start with simple things that no-one can object to, and then having shown the power of people acting together bigger changes can be made.
Green Sword has a programme of campaigns to make that happen. Success comes from knowing and proving you can make a difference.
